To: barlow@eff.org, barlow@icecube.pindale.wy.us, postmaster@eff.org Dear friends, I think that paranoid is almost inevitable in Cryptology. The real danger is just trying to avoid that thinking. But sometimes things are really difficult! One year ago I met a man in a conference on Cryptology. He was from Switzerland and was working for a company named CRYPTO AG. He is fluent in several lenguages, including Spanish and Arabic, and was not afraid about his interest in taboo (cryptoanalysis). I really enjoyed that conversation. Last week I listened a conversation about him, and I know now that he is in jail at Teheran (Iran). He is acused for atenting against the shii goverment just because he was sellin cryptology to the political opposition. Do you know about that? If so, do you have anything published on it? His name is Hans Buhler, CRYPTO AG, P.O. Box 474 CH-6301 Zug/Switzerland. I am really interested in any information about him! Nobody answer my fax to his company, or to Iran embassy here (!?). _ _ _ _ ' ) ) ) // / / / o __ _ // / ' (_<_(_//_/_</_</_ _/ Miguel A.
